I would have bet upon losing either Plague Strike or Icy Touch and moving to one disease, because it seems so dang obvious to me, but from the recent play shots they are still in that build. I would like to see both Icy Touch and Plague Strike removed and replaced with a 0 cooldown Outbreak costing 1F1U for frost/blood and 1U for Unholy.
Blood Strike can easily be removed by giving Blood and Unholy Heart Strike and Festering Strike upon creation. Easy win.
Presences aren't rotational so they aren't candidates for button bloat removal.
Necrotic Strike is rotational, but it's spec-defining in PvP. I don't see it being removed.
Soul Reaper is rotational for Blood, and it's not super useful, but it is a neat point of differentiation for DKs, in that our tank has an execute. Could go either way. I wouldn't really miss it if it was gone, but the hardcore DK soloers probably would.
I'd like to see both Frost and Unholy losing Death Strike, replacing it with a buffed and truly useful L60 healing talent.
The Chains of Ice snare should be added to Icy Touch. Another easy win.
Strangulate is probably going away. The devs indicated they wanted less silence effects in the game.
Another bit from the recent play screenshots; Horn of Winter no longer gives RP, so it is no longer rotational, effectively removing button bloat. Another win.
That's all that immediately comes to mind.
